Wissenschaft und Kunst – eines haben sie gemeinsam, sie erschaffen Neues. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass im Berliner Stadtteil Dahlem, in dem die Freie Universität ansässig ist, dieses extravagante Projekt „erschaffen“ wurde. Die Treppenanlage beeindruckt durch ihren avantgardistischen und strak gebogenen Lauf und das dreidimensional geformte Geländer. So entsteht, wenn man die Treppe von unten betrachtet, eine elliptische Spirale, die sich nach oben hin windet.

This foyer was updated with the addition of white paneling and new herringbone hardwood floors with a walnut border. The walls are covered in a navy blue grasscloth wallpaper from Thibaut. A navy and white geometric patterned stair-runner, held in place with stair rods capped with pineapple finials, further contributes to the home's coastal feel.

A traditional wood stair I designed as part of the gut renovation and expansion of a historic Queen Village home. What I find exciting about this stair is the gap between the second floor landing and the stair run down -- do you see it? I do a lot of row house renovation/addition projects and these homes tend to have layouts so tight I can't afford the luxury of designing that gap to let natural light flow between floors.

We love to be creative and this project in Park City, Utah encompasses that quality! While this stair layout is typical, the guardrail and newel posts are anything but. The guardrail infill is made up of individual baluster grids, milled from Clear Alder. The handrail is steel and the custom newel posts are a combination of both Alder and steel. Each newel post is actually five posts in one. Starting with the 5 smaller vertical Alder posts we then mortised steel square bar horizontals between them. The base and caps are steel, in between which the smaller posts were sandwiched. After the steel base was bolted down to the floor the parts were assembled like a puzzle with a length of all-thread passing up through the base, center post, and cap to cinch the whole assembly together. It makes for one strong post! The skirts, risers, and aprons are Knotty Alder with solid White Oak treads, bull-nosed shoe plate and cove. All the steel components received a powder-coat finish.
